No, basketball is exactly the same; they just had to institute a shot clock because people stalled. - Hunta Jun 26, 12:13 4
- Your goal is to score, and to do it quickly. Only late in the game does that sometimes shift. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 12:15 3
  - Your goal is to score more than the other guy, be it 110-108 or 81-80. - Hunta Jun 26, 12:19 2
    - Yes, and keep away has very little to do with it. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 12:26 1
      - Becuase they added rules to make it so you couldn't play keep away. - Hunta Jun 26, 12:31
you still want the other team to touch the ball as little as possible. -- nm - mafaça Jun 26, 12:10 8
- they don't throw the ball into their own backcourt -- nm - dogbert Jun 26, 12:12 5
  - sure they do, they just get penalised for it. -- nm - mafaça Jun 26, 12:13 1
    - ...because people used to do that... -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 12:18
  - Only because there's a specific rule against it - Reagen Jun 26, 12:13 2
    - and soccer instituted the backpass rule for similar reasons -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 12:16
    - because that would be boring! -- nm - dogbert Jun 26, 12:16
- So, the opposite of sex? - TWuG Jun 26, 12:12 1
  - why do you hate lesbians? -- nm - mafaça Jun 26, 12:13
